In order to hold a Randonneurs Mondiaux (RM) Randonnée in the US, if you are a first-time Grand Randonnée organizer, you must submit a 1200k Application (Word (e-mailable) or PDF) and accompanying materials by July 31 of the previous year. This will require some research and foot (or pedal-) work. The RUSA 1200k Guidebook is a helpful resource for planning your Grand Randonnée. [12/2017]

After the Board approves your application, you may then submit it for your calendar for the following year, as you would for any other event. (This is a separate step, so make sure you remember you include this event with the others you are calendaring.) You may choose the same event date as on your application or a different one, e.g., to accord with the calendaring of other US grand randonnées.

When you calendar submission is approved, RUSA will then submit your event to the President of Randonneurs Mondiaux. The deadline for submission of your RM event to RUSA is October 1 of the year preceding the event. If you offer a 1000km ACP brevet option, or 1000km and 200km, in conjunction, you must also submit these events to RUSA no later than October 1.
